"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country. In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I do not know who has told you we have it." - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt (not on the Holocaust or anything), but just the chance to explain himself. But he's certifiable.
"I am only a professor who is also a university president, and today I feel the weight of all the civilized world yearning to express the revulsion at what you stand for," Bollinger told Ahmadinejad.Boo-ya!
How has this not gotten more coverage?
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is:
an intergovernmental mutual-security organization which was founded on June 15, 2001 by the leaders of the China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.The Time Magazine article says that Iran may be added to the mix and that some in the U.S. government consider the coalition to be
a retooled Warsaw Pact that could serve to balance NATO.News? Anyone? Yeah, thought so.
Victor Davis Hanson posting at The Corner on National Review Online makes an interesting remark while commenting on Iran and its nuclear implications.
He writes about the "moral equivalence" of Prof. John Mearsheimer at the YearlyKos convention, who surmised that Iran had the right"to have a bomb since Israel has one too-as if an anti-American theocracy run according to Sharia Law is no more a nuclear threat than a pro-American liberal democracy."
So anti-American theocracy is the bad and pro-American liberal democracy is good. Catch that? Liberal is good, says the conservative.
Okay, just checking.
Going off my impression of Joe Biden yesterday at the AFL-CIO debate and his work on the bankruptcy bill, I have no respect for him. He is a blow-hard whose support for a morally bankrupt piece of legislation hurt more Americans than have been killed in Iraq.
On top of this, he was seemingly unable to show any type of mourning, sympathy or empathy for a woman whose husband was killed in the Sago mining accident in West Virginia a while ago.
I hope he doesn't have your vote.
Newt Gingrich has an epiphany:
"We have got to get beyond this political bologna. I'm not allowed to say anything positive about Hillary Clinton because then I'm not a loyal Republican, and she's not allowed to say anything positive about me because then she's not a loyal Democrat. What a stupid way to run a country."

A woman from the United Kennel Club notes:
"It's important to understand that this isn't about race, but it is about culture."Russell Simmons says, regarding the presence of pit bulls in hip-hop and rap culture:
"That's why we have poets, have always had poets and artists in society, to say things that sometimes people don't say otherwise."In this case, I think it's a bit of the "poets" reflecting society and society trying to emulate said "poets"...at the same time.
